Still, I'd like to see the data that proves what you're talking about

Take the most ambitious projection, which is LIRR's plan to maintain current AM peak service at NYP at 36 tph while adding 24 tph of peak service at ESA and making no cutbacks. Make the extremely conservative assumption that Patchogue/Speonk/Montauk trains will run to Jamaica/NYP/HPA/LIC via the Montauk Line. The figure is then 22 tph, of which the diesel trains make up about 18%. Quite doable and then some with two tracks, and if you subtract out the diesel trains on the assumption that they will be sent via Main Line Third Track, then it's 18 tph. If anything, the proposed takeover makes the switching work easier by ruling out several sets of conflicting moves.
